Not sure I can see on the image what missing, if something is missing
But you can always add the missing information by yourself, e.g. use conky manager and adjust the conky,
with whatever is missing.

@fadi You've been complaining a lot on the Forum since you joined that just exactly what you want is not being provided by MX. It's getting pretty tiresome.

At least with conkies, you have a good resource: get on the web and search--there are a million conkies out there. Or, as @fehlix says, use the web to learn how to work with conkies yourself.

I believe they are looking for information of their system to display. Not the alpha value of fonts.

Code: Select all

xftalpha

Alpha of Xft font. Must be a value at or between 1 and 0.

MX-ManyRoads date-time-system-info-Processes-Load and memory conky work for me.

Did you edit these two files by chance?

I have been delaying these posts for sometime and I am sorry they came out in one go. They made me look like someone whining and all I want is to add extra polish to mx .Almost all my posts are feature suggestion. Read them and ignore what you don’t like.

This one ,though, is a complain. I had mx 22 series on my computer and this widget worked well . when I upgraded to mx 23 series it ceased to function properly . However I did as Mr siamhie suggested, changing xftalpha to 1, and it works fine now. Thanks Mr siamhie . :number1:

That was @i_ri's suggestion. Glad you got it sorted.

Sorry to re-open the thread, but mx-many roads/ cpufile does not show at all. I wonder what to change in its file.

What doesn't show, information or conky?
